Yeah, I have to agree. I have a set of Hogan Apex Grinds and they are not forgiving at all. I could actually benefit from a better weighted iron, but I bought these clubs 15 years ago before I knew the difference. I have been playing with them for quite some time now, so I am used to it. I did recently get them sized, which made a slight difference. I am not sure if sized is the correct term. Basically they adjusted the angle where the club head and shaft meet for my particular swing. Anyway, uness you want to make a challenging game even harder, I would avoid blades and look for something with some weight to it.
